Is Religion slowly dying?

[boy130]

Of course religion is slowly dying, atheism wasn't even a consideration 200+ years ago. Sure, the absolute number of religious people is increasing every year, simply because of the population explosion, but the relative abundance of religious:atheist is shifting in favour of atheism, fortunately.

Religion is  dying . This is because some people are becoming more religious than before thereby portraying them as religious fanatics. Atheism and Buddhism is equally on the increase.

More and more i come across people who say that they do not believe in God and religion teachings. Atheistic population is starting to get bigger and bigger. Does this mean that it is time for religion to die, or maybe it is time to evolve in something else? Maybe Buddhism is becoming worlds religion, or maybe it will be some mixture of Europe religions and Buddhism? I am interested what do you guys think, what are your views on matter and what do you think will happen in future? Will there be no religion, or maybe some kind of other teaching?

The people are definetelly forgetting God . Well I believe this will just lead to more depression and wars. If we become the ultimate
judges of right and wrong that will be just a chaotic. I am Christian and in the Bible is talking about it: "Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8.
The people are just becoming colder and more egocentric. It is sad to see this. Maybe we should just remember that we are all vulnerable and mortals.

Many people may be forgetting God. But this is simply their religion.

There is no way to NOT have religion and still be alive.

The closest might be a person who is a vegetable. Science is finding out that even people in comas are mentally very active, and that all a coma is, is a jumbled connection of mind with certain interactions that it had physically and mentally. The mind of a comatose person is not dead.

When people who have a religion that doesn't include God, finally wake up in the resurrection, they will KNOW at that time that God exists. Then their religion will become one of forgetting God forever... as they roast Hell for eternity.

It is.... Younger generations ain't as religious as the older folks

[charlix]

I think that more people are starting to think more and be free from the grips of irrationality... that people are less forced to follow these religions.

I do not know any. Because here in our country, almost all of us do have faith in God. In fact our government take the advice of some religious group of people. Despite of having different religion, important thing is we recognize God in our daily lives.

Considering we've got more and more religion-oriented threads with dozens of replies on a cryptocurrency forum I'd say religions hold pretty well

[Blitzboy]

there is nothing guarantee that religion is slowly dying. Even though I am not a big fan of religion, I have to admit that in many places, religion is still strong and the effect of religion in these areas are enormous. Just look at India, they can not escape from their own religion and the people are too ignorant to realize how wrong their religions are. Poor for such a beautiful country like India. They have to do a lot of thing to show to the people that religion is not always right

[gogiking]

there never was.
people believe what they want to believe and call it "religion".
thats what true meaning of "religion" is anyway.

I don't know why you keep insisting with this. There are an estimated 10.000 religions worldwide. People who do not believe in any of them are simply not religious. You clearly can't even understand the definition of a religion and keep pushing this shit. Like you do when you don't understand what scientific theories mean.

Religion is in no way slowly dying.

Agreed - the speed in which it is dying is accelerating - I wouldn't call it slowly.

One hundred years ago all we had for knowledge were our parents, so we believed everything they told us.  Especially when they repeated it to us a hundred thousand times. 

Today, we have the internet.  Kids are told god is real, then they go to the 'net and find out the truth. 

My mother had 11 siblings.  They all believe in a god.   The vast majority of my cousins (their offspring) do not. 

[abusofyan1]

I think yes because now people think that religion is not too important in the eyes of others because they violate many of their religious rules

[PalmerLaura]

No I don't think it's dying. May be some old religious like Christianity loose their popularity but the others more young like Islam become more and more popular and spread around among the people.

The word is lose.

I have a strong feeling that people who misspell that word also are uneducated about reality.

Religion is nothing but different way of approaching is different and since god is not dying so is the religion.

Fairy tales don't die, dude.... they just slowly fade away as reality knocks at the door...

[fanatic26]

Religion feeds ignorance and hate. It was created to control the masses but as a race we are past the need for that. Until religion is eradicated humanities growth will remain stunted.

[spacedis]

Those stories will never completely die. But I think we just have people that view them more as stories to
teach a lesson more then truth.
